The little girl in front of him had an innocent and simple face. Shen Yanli frowned and said bluntly: “This is her private matter. I don’t know.”
Zhou Yunwan blinked and asked casually, "Really? You've known each other for so many years, and you don't care about others?"
Now, even a fool could hear her vague inquiry. Who would mention another person for no reason?
Shen Yanli took a deep breath, “Wanwan, what exactly do you want to ask?”
Zhou Yunwan touched the tip of her nose. She had already figured out that Li Jinning probably hadn't confessed to Chen Yanli yet, and Chen Yanli, who was not very smart, probably didn't know what other people thought of him.
Since it was a secret love, there was no need for her to take the initiative to break through this layer of membrane.
Her eyes turned, and she hummed, "You two are going on a business trip together for such a long time, so of course I, as your girlfriend, would feel a sense of crisis. Can't I even ask around?"
Hearing this, Shen Yanli understood her meaning almost instantly, and immediately expressed his loyalty: “Wanwan, she and I are just ordinary colleagues, and we have no relationship other than that. What you are worried about will never happen.”
Seeing that she didn’t speak, Shen Yanli frowned and asked, “Don’t you believe me?”
...
...
Zhou Yunwan choked. It wasn’t that she didn’t believe him, but she didn’t believe in the bad nature of men.
There is a saying: No matter how delicious the food at home is, the shit outside will always taste good if you have never eaten it.
Besides, few men can resist the temptation that comes to their doorstep. Li Jinning is pretty and likes him. Who knows if he will be unable to resist and something will happen between him and her? Just like...
Just like her dad.
Thinking of this, her eyes dimmed a little.
After not getting a response from her for a long time, Shen Yanli's thin lips tightened, and he already understood her answer.
When Zhou Yunwan raised her eyes, she saw his hurt expression. She paused for a moment and opened her mouth to explain: "I..."
"Wanwan, I only like you and I won't have anything to do with anyone else."
After saying this, he turned his head away, afraid to see hesitation and doubt on her face again.
Zhou Yunwan thought that he didn't want to talk to her anymore, so she clenched her hand at her side, hummed softly, and fell silent.
On the way back, neither side spoke again.
The silent atmosphere lasted until the next morning.
The sky was still gray, Shen Yanli put the box on the car, and Xiao Liu was responsible for sending him to the train station.
Xiao Liu closed the trunk and said with a smile, “Professor Shen, let’s go.”
Shen Yanli nodded and put his hand on the door handle, but still couldn't help but look back at the empty yard.
After returning home from the quarrel yesterday, he hardly slept all night.
He was angry that she didn't trust him, and even more angry that he knew they would be separated from today, but he was childish enough to quarrel with her over such a small matter.
Chen Yanli narrowed his eyes, quickly closed the car door, and said to Xiao Liu who had already started the car: "I forgot something, wait for me here."
After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Liu to react, he opened the iron gate and walked straight towards the house.
Just as he entered the entrance hall and was about to change his shoes, he caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the figure who suddenly stopped at the corner of the stairs.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Zhou Yunwan curled up her fingertips on the stair railing and her eyes instantly turned red.
This bad guy, she heard the sound of the engine upstairs and thought he was really going to leave like that.
She sniffed, quickened her pace, walked over, punched him twice without any courtesy, and cursed in a low voice, "Asshole."
Listening to her crying voice, Shen Yanli hugged her in his arms distressedly, bent down and kissed her hair, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry."
She was wearing pajamas and a coat, and seemed to be in a hurry to go downstairs.
Shen Yanli hugged her tighter, “I’m sorry, I should have made peace with you earlier.”
Even though she knew it was inappropriate, Zhou Yunwan couldn't help but smile.
Her boyfriend seems to be easier to please than she thought.
Clearly, he looked ruthless last night as if he didn't want to talk to her anymore, but today, with just a hug, he made up with her and even took the initiative to admit his mistake to her.
She couldn't believe that the first cold war after they started dating ended so hastily?
In this case, it would be easy for her to get more than she deserves.
Zhou Yunwan hugged his waist, her eyelashes trembling, knowing that he didn't have much time, and also knowing that they couldn't delay any longer, lest they be discovered by other people in the family.
So he spoke faster and said, "I only like you, so I hope you can maintain good male ethics, not that I don't trust you."
"You already have me, so don't get too close to other women, and don't give others the opportunity to take advantage of you, okay?"
Shen Yanli looked down at her watery and rippling eyes, and the unpleasantness of last night disappeared in an instant, and he said seriously: “I know, I only need you.”
"And Wanwan, I'm not as popular with women as you think."
Compared to him, her popularity with the opposite sex is obviously much stronger than his. Does she know how many guys stare at her every time she goes out?
The corners of Zhou Yunwan's mouth twitched. Did this person have any misunderstandings about her?
No wonder he couldn't tell that Li Jinning liked him. With such extraordinary sensitivity, it's hard to find anyone else like him in the world.
However, she did not intend to correct this misunderstanding, and thought that being unattractive was a good thing, as it could save her girlfriend a lot of trouble.
After hugging for a few seconds, she pushed him and said, "It's getting late, you should leave."
Shen Yanli took a half step back: “When I get there, I’ll call home.”
Zhou Yunwan nodded, indicating that he could leave.
Watching him walk out of the yard, Zhou Yunwan just remembered something. Oh no, she forgot to tell him she had a safe trip.
He seemed to have noticed something and turned to look at her. Zhou Yunwan quickly waved at him and mouthed, "Be careful on the road."
This was the first time they had been apart for such a long time since they met, so naturally they were reluctant to part.
Zhou Yunwan stood there for a long time. Only when the car started to leave did she reluctantly look away.
When she turned around, she was frightened by Aunt Wang standing at the door of the room.
After a conversation, she realized that Aunt Wang was also woken up by the sound of the engine. It was almost time to buy groceries, so she could just pack up and get ready to go out.
"Then Aunt Wang, you go ahead and do your work. I'll drink some water and go upstairs to sleep."
Zhou Yunwan pretended that she was just thirsty and came downstairs to drink some water, and to see Shen Yanli off at the same time.
Her tone was natural, and Aunt Wang didn't think much about it and went to boil water and wash up.
Time flies quickly, and nearly half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Shen Yanli would call back from time to time.
Whenever the phone in the living room rang, Zhou Yunwan was usually the first one to answer it, but she soon realized that this behavior was too obvious. Plus, she was busy as school was about to start, so she discussed with Shen Yanli not to call too frequently.
Little do people know that the coldness after enthusiasm is more likely to arouse suspicion.
After dinner one day, Guo Yulin asked Zhou Yunwan, "Hey, why didn't Yanli call today? Did you have a fight?"
Zhou Yunwan almost spit out the water she had just drunk and forced herself to swallow it back.
